Karim is a Persian artist from Tuscany that supports¬†SIVA4KIDS.org with an abstract oil painting. He dedicates his artwork “La Tigre Incorniciata – The Framed Tiger” to support the mission of Siva for Kids Foundation.

He has been looking for a foundation which work from the heart to save children and among his search he found it through a friend and the SIVA4KIDS.org’s other artists contributions very similar to what he was looking for therefore we are very proud to present another artwork of the project ART4KIDS. All offers for this abstract oil painting are considered for charity.

He said:”Abstract art is the most forgiving style of all, because anything goes, as long as your abstract artwork can give you the feeling you have expressed yourself. We forgive quickly the reality that surrounds us. This tiger wants to be a reminder for everybody, now she is behind the frames but the tiger should suddenly come out. Like Tsunami did. That is why we do have to remember and not to forgive easily”.

Due to the contribution of our official P.R. Domenico La Ferla, the project Art4Kids welcomes another artwork.
Domenico says: “Karim is a great artist and friend. I knew this artist some years ago in Florence and I got in touch with him. When I look at his artworks, I can remember the words of wisdom he used to say. In his sentences there is a kind of signal that tells the future. He is definitely an artist, the abstract one”.¬†

Marina Varouta (known as Ina Mar) is the first artist that adheres to¬†ARTS4KIDS fundraising Project of SIVA4KIDS.¬† Born in Athens (Greece), Marina brings her passion for photography and visual arts into computer graphic design. She gives S4K the artwork “He looked death in the face” in which she describes emotions and visions of a Tsunami survivor child.

She said: “The subject of this artwork shows my feelings about Tsunami survivors. I hope that people that share the same feelings will buy this artwork“. Domenico La Ferla (P.R. Worldwide S4K) wants to thank her for the support, and she asserts: “I support the Art4Kids project because I believe in the goal of this foundation, I support Siva4Kids and I will do it again in the future”.

Other artist and known personalities who have already supported the goal and mission of Siva for Kids Foundation are: Lucio Parrillo, the young upcoming marvel-artist from Italy, Bombay Rockers, the world famous boyband of Denmark,  PadmaShri Hariharan, a very respected personality of Indian classical music and  play back singer of Indian films industry and Martin Joergensen, who is a professional (FC Fiorentina) football personality of Denmark.

In 2000, Ina Mar created her first experimental series called “Lightcurves”, where she transformed the body into a landscape through lighting effects and the use of accessory objects. Since 2001, she has been exploring the notion of metamorphosis and transforming the representational into abstract through lighting effects, shooting techniques, photomanipulation and other methods. In this passion for metamorphosis, Ina Mar mixes themes and genres; she transforms a sculpture into a painting, a representational photo into an abstract drawing, a woman’s breast into a sunny hill.

She said: “I am a follower of so-called “plastic” photography, i.e, photography that disengages the image from its documentary dimension and imbues the objects or events represented in the image with new form and meaning. The shot, with regard to its technical details, must be taken in such a way that it best serves this transformation”.

Her favorite subjects are; the human body; abstract forms which she sees not only in landscapes, and everyday objects. She is also interested in sculptures of architectural objects; cultural and historical themes (in particular genocide).

Domenico La Ferla asked him a couple of questions: Why Florence? Why Siva4Kids?
He replies: “For an artist like me every town should be ok if I have a desk and my stuff. But every artist needs to be inspired and surrounded by art. That is the reason why I live in Florence also if I am travelling a lot to US”. Regarding Siva4Kids he says: “Since I had this opportunity I agree with this project that will help children. I really appreciate the effort that this foundation is doing day by day, and I want to be part of Art4Kids project”.

The three pieces of artwork are the original illustrations of two comics covers (Wolverine X-Man and Conan) and a video game (Dragon Farm).
It is possible to buy Lucio Parrillo artworks in our SHOP.siva4kids.org.

Kyoko Yamaji is the first japanese artist to take part to our project Art4Kids. Our Worldwide P.R. (Domenico La Ferla) got in contact with this artist to thank her personally. She replied: “It’s me to thank you for the wonderful project. I would be happiest if I can do something for others as an artist. I would love to do something for disadvantaged children and young people in conditions of underdevelopment, war, poverty or natural disaster. I trust you, the professionals for the operation because I can’t do anything by myself. Also, the founder of S4K was an artist, so I feel an affinity with S4K“.

Other artist and known personalities who have already supported the goal and mission of Siva for Kids Foundation are: Lucio Parrillo, the young upcoming marvel-artist from Italy, Marina Varouta, the young upcoming artist from Germany, Bombay Rockers, the world famous boyband of Denmark,  PadmaShri Hariharan, a very respected personality of Indian classical music and  play back singer of Indian films industry and Martin Joergensen, who is a professional (FC Fiorentina) football personality of Denmark.

Kyoko is a well-known artist in Japan, where she collected many awards. Since 2002, she is taking part to International Art Fairs and Group Shows. She describes herself with some simple words full of emotions: “I’m a self-taught artist, born and brought up mostly in Tokyo, Japan and in the United States for a short time. I have been an art lover since my early age, but I didn’t feel like painting until I was strongly influenced by African charm. Traveling to mid eastern Africa was a precious experience in my life. I gained enthusiasm from the beauty, toughness and love of human beings and wild animals.

¬†I also paint images inspired by music, movies, and also from my own experience or sympathy to others. Recently I was again strongly influenced by the warmth and cheerfulness of Caribbean people, especially “the happiest people in the world” in Puerto Rico. My theme and style may change along the way, meeting people, traveling, how I feel, and such. Anyway, I am pursuing to express touching feelings, scenes and impressions in my style”.
 
Through her words, we can also feel the colours of her art. She describes the feeling regarding the artwork “Into The Light” available in our Shop4Kids: “This is what I felt in Africa. I couldn’t do anything. I wished to bring naked children in the street to a world where there is no sorrow, no hunger and no fear, a beautiful place filled with love and peace”.
 
We are proud to welcome an emotional artist like Kyoko and we invite other artists like her to join our project Art4Kids.
